I was reading about some American television stations decisions not to broadcast Saving Private Ryan because of possible repercussions from the FCC, and I was thinking that as a society, we have become unable to police ourselves. Instead of deciding not to watch something that might be upsetting or disturbing (which I think was the point of the movie, war is not pretty or fun), or parents restricting what their children are allowed to watch on tv, they would rather let a government agency decide for them what is allowable viewing. Then I came across this article which says exactly what I was thinking.
If anyone has some good Christmas present ideas for my father, let me know, because he is so hard to buy for. Every year, I buy him clothes and, believe me, nobody is less interested in clothes than my father. Except maybe my brother. Help.

I don't have a clue what to get anyone for Christmas, especially dad too. He is very hard to shop for. He always likes gadgets, something he can play with. Michael, well I just don't know about him either. I should pay more attention to people around Christmas. I love gift certificates, they may seem impersonal but then you get to pick what you want. I wish we had a Sephora store around here. I would like to see what Jessica Simpson's new line of stuff is like.
